A Typical Email
Hi Karam,I am currently in the Bush. The transformer by our house caught on fire and we currently have no power. Also, there is a fuel shortage here and I don't have enough to get back to Lagos so I'm trapped here. Moreover, there are riots in between here and Lagos. Sigh.... There is absolutely nothing to do here except work and watch the chickens run around the compound. I’m going to kill that stupid rooster.
